Grants Pass, Ore. (Jan. 16, 2019) – Dutch Bros Coffee, the country’s largest privately held drive-thru coffee company, has appointed Joth Ricci president. Working alongside CEO Travis Boersma, Ricci will leverage his beverage expertise to ensure Dutch Bros is well-positioned to achieve its expansion plans, including growing to 800 locations over the next five years.

“I’ve gotten to know Joth over the years, and he is a natural complement to our team,” said Boersma. “His proven abilities in strategic planning will be invaluable as we fine-tune our systems, standards and processes for our expansion goals. We’re thrilled to welcome him into the Dutch Bros family.”

“Dutch Bros is a unique brand with a loyal following,” added Ricci. “It’s an honor to be part of the team as we look to power Dutch Bros’ growth into new markets.”

With a passion for innovation and the beverage business, Ricci joins Dutch Bros from Adelsheim Vineyard, where he was president and CEO and remains a strategic advisor and director. Previously, he was president of Stumptown Coffee Roasters, where he collaborated with TSG Consumer Partners, which has partnered with Dutch Bros since acquiring a minority stake last year. Additionally, Ricci is a director at Brew Dr. Kombucha and Ninkasi Brewing.

Ricci, who began serving as president on Jan. 7, is focused on guiding day-to-day activities and working directly with the board, TSG and management, while Boersma oversees Dutch Bros’ big picture strategy.

“We are extremely honored to be able to support the Natalie Corona Memorial Fund,” said Sean Provost, owner of Dutch Bros Davis, Dixon and Woodland. “Officer Corona was a regular at our stand, and she left a mark on our crew and the Davis community. She will be greatly missed.”

“It’s been on my heart the last couple of years to take a trip out there.”

Rennika Doty is driving through the streets of Portland, reflecting on her recent trip to an orphanage in Haiti. The Dutch Bros business coach left Oregon’s cold, rainy days in early December to spend a week with children in what’s considered the poorest country in the western hemisphere.

“These children were living in the most severe conditions I have ever seen. Going days without food or water, sleeping wherever they can find dry shelter and living day to day,” said Doty, who saw the struggle first hand. “It is common for parents to give up their children to an orphanage, because they know their kids will be fed, clothed and given an education; which is not otherwise promised."

Doty’s desire to help the children of Haiti runs in the family. Her trip was through a non-profit called Ncompass, which was started by her brother-in-law and a few of his college friends.

“Their non-profit originally focused on feeding the homeless in Portland,” explained Doty. “Then my brother-in-law met a surfing buddy on the coast who was deeply involved in helping out the children of Haiti. Eventually, they joined efforts and refocused Ncompass’ vision.”

The non-profit now focuses on supporting nearly three dozen children living in Maranatha House Orphanage in the small town of Titanyen. The organization’s support ensures the children are fully funded, with enough money for food, clothes, supplies, and school tuition.

“It’s really incredible what they do for these kids,” said Doty. “And they’re planning to do more. Their goal this year is to pay for another 100 kids from the village to go to school.”

Doty’s trip was sparked by the organization’s growth plan. She went to Haiti to help her brother-in-law and other leadership make new connections. They’re hoping those connections will help kids who are moving into adulthood.

“A lot of kids in the orphanage were really young when Ncompass started helping out, and now they're graduating high school. They're trying to figure out how to transition them into their next phase of life, whether that be a trade school, college or starting a career.”

For now, Ncompass, Doty and other volunteers will do what they can to bring extra joy into the lives of the children they’re helping.

“While I was there, we got to take the kids with the best grades to the beach. They’d never seen the ocean before- it was incredible. And Dutch Bros helped us hook up all the kids with insulated water bottles so they could keep their water cold. They were so excited!”

Now that she’s experienced the difference being made in Haiti, Doty says she’s hoping to get more involved with her brother-in-law’s organization. She says she’ll do it with the blessing of Dutch Bros.

“Dutch Bros encourages us in whatever we set out to do,” said Doty. “It goes without saying that our company is about serving others and lifting people up- even outside work hours. My dream is to pay it forward and help these kids in creating a better life for their future. I have more support than I can ever ask for and I think that speaks volumes.”

The locations gave $1 from each drink sold, and took additional donations, for the organization, which addresses the needs of anyone who ever attended Prosser Schools, anyone who lives in Prosser and their immediate families. In addition, customers who gave by buying a large drink were rewarded with a nine stamp card.

“Right now, Mustangs for Mustangs says it’s mainly focusing on helping local families pay heating bills,” said Erin Bates, owner of Dutch Bros Prosser and Sunnyside. “That means every customer who came out to help us support this organization helped their neighbors stay warm this holiday season.”

GRANTS PASS, Ore. (Dec. 28, 2018) – Dutch Bros, the country’s largest privately held drive-thru coffee company, with more than 325 locations and 10,000 employees in seven states, opened four new locations in the month of December.

EUREKA, Calif. (Dec. 26, 2018) – Dutch Bros locations in Eureka raised $1,917 Friday, December 21 for Coats for the Cold, a movement dedicated to providing new coats for those who cannot afford them.

“We are so proud of our customers for coming out and supporting these organizations over the past few weeks,” said Nate Frary, owner of Dutch Bros Northern Colorado. “All four organizations make a significant impact on our communities and we are honored to have raised funds for them this year.”

“We are so proud of our customers for coming out and supporting both of these organizations over the past few weeks,” said Karla Luna, owner of Dutch Bros Kelso and Longview. “Pearl’s Closet and the United Way of Cowlitz and Wahkiakum Counties make a huge difference in the lives of our community members. We are so excited to make donations to both of them.”

DOUGLAS COUNTY, Ore. (Dec. 14, 2018) – Friday, December 7, Douglas County Dutch Bros locations donated $1 from every drink sold between 5 a.m. and Noon to Umpqua Valley Arts Association. As a result, $2763 will go to the organization.

The Umpqua Valley Arts Association is dedicated to art education and appreciation, as well as service to artists, art organizations and the community.

“We’re so proud of our customers for coming out and supporting this important organization,” said Jessica Chudek, owner of the new Dutch Bros Camas location. “We’re honored to serve this community and can’t wait to start meeting everyone in Camas.”

All the proceeds from the grand opening will go directly to Camas Washougal Community Chest, which is dedicated to helping fund local non-profits serving those in need in the community.

LONGMONT, Colo. (Dec. 13, 2018) – Wednesday, December 12, Dutch Bros Longmont donated the proceeds from each drink sold, raising a total of $2,904 for the booster clubs of Longmont and Skyline High Schools.

“Thank you so much to the Longmont community for coming out to help us raise funds for the local boosters,” said Jason Nunnemaker, operator of Dutch Bros Longmont.

The $2,904 donated will directly benefit the local booster clubs as they aid and encourage the development of the schools and their students through the support of school activity programs.

WENATCHEE, Wash. (Dec. 13, 2018) – Thursday, December 6, Dutch Bros Wenatchee locations raised $3,000 for Children’s Home Society of Washington and its mission of bringing support services to children and families so they can reach their full potential.

“We are so grateful to unite efforts with our community in support of Children’s Home Society,” said Elle Crocker, owner of Dutch Bros Wenatchee. “The mission to help children and families is something we feel strongly about.”

Dutch Bros Coffee debuted its first holiday cup in 2008. The cup featured the classic DB design, with added snowflakes, snowmen, and the slogan “PEACE ON EARTH” featured along the bottom. Back then, Dutch Bros’ entire design department consisted of one graphic designer and one creative director.

“Our customers freaked out when they saw the holiday cup that first year,” said Andy Conway, vice president of operations at Dutch Bros Coffee. “In the 16 years we had been open at that point, our customers had never seen a variation of the design. They were so excited.”

In the 10 years since, DB has added considerable talent to their roster. Today they employ seven graphic designers, and three project managers under the leadership of Design Director Justin Woolf, and Senior Creative Director Tom Spagnolo. We sat down with Justin and Tom to chat about this year’s look, and what goes into the holiday cup design each year.

The process starts about eight months in advance. Tom sits down with the CMO and chats about what he wants to see, and what message we want to communicate during that season. Tom and Justin discuss design trends and work with their team for the driving inspiration and direction.

“We collaborate and curate ideas for a look we hope encapsulates the vibe we’re going for,” said Tom. “Once we have a handle on it, we put together a mood board with images, key words, and feelings to direct the design team’s creative work.”

This year, Dutch Bros’ 2018 holiday cup design was released on November, 1. The theme was vintage, traditional, and Scandinavian.

When asked about his favorite design, Tom said, “This year is honestly my favorite, but last year was my favorite, and next year will probably be my favorite too. You pour so much energy into it. In my opinion, all art is that way. You’re never content with what you know. The second you’re done with something, you’re happy with it, but then you’re immediately learning something new, and you’re in love with what you’re doing next.”

The holiday cups not only bring a little extra cheer to Dutch Bros’ customers during the season, they are also a gift for the design team as well.

“In school they said this job didn’t exist,” said Justin. “You get more freedom by being a freelancer, or you do the same thing every day at a design firm. This job and this company is amazing because you not only get to do different things each day, but you get to be a big part of the creative process.”

GRANTS PASS, Ore. (October 22, 2018) – Dutch Bros Coffee has been recognized by the Oregonian as a top midsize employer. This is the second year the Grants Pass based company has received the honor.

Each year, The Oregonian/OregonLive works with Energage, an employee research and consulting firm, to survey the employees of more than 140 businesses in Oregon and southwestern Washington. The rank each company receives is entirely dependent upon anonymous survey results from current employees.

GRANTS PASS, Ore. (October 5, 2018) – Dutch Bros raised $431,283 for local kids’ organizations with this year’s Buck for Kids (B4K) event. Held annually on National Coffee Day, Sept. 29, B4K donates $1 from each drink sold to local children’s organizations. Since its inception in 2006, B4K has raised a grand total of more than $2.1 million.

“The kids in our community are incredibly important to us,” said Travis Boersma, CEO and co-founder of Dutch Bros Coffee. “We are so grateful to our customers for coming out to support them on Buck For Kids day.”

Today, B4K is one of the most popular fundraisers held companywide. It is surpassed only by Drink One for Dane, which raised more than $1.3 million in one day this year.

Dutch Bros began celebrating B4K in 2006. Ten years later, in 2016, it began holding the annual fundraiser on National Coffee Day as a way to further celebrate its communities and capture the enthusiasm around the commemoration of a nationwide favorite.

On B4K day, Dutch Bros’ goal is to make a positive and substantial impact on the day-to-day lives of the people in its communities, specifically the children within them. Each local operator chooses which local kids’ nonprofit to support, and the funds raised directly benefit youth in those communities.

The partnership will enable Dutch Bros to expand its unique brand and Dutch Luv culture to new markets, leveraging TSG’s expertise and resources. Dutch Bros hopes to grow to 800 shops in five years, continue attracting key talent, employ innovative technology to improve the quality of service, use business intelligence and data to advance operations, and execute a disciplined brand strategy.

Travis Boersma, co-founder and CEO of Dutch Bros Coffee said, “TSG understands the vision of Dutch Bros and values our unique company culture and dedication to our people, customers and local communities. We’re continuing to invest in our people first, helping those who are determined and hungry design their lives and live their dreams. We have set ambitious growth and expansion goals, and we trust TSG to help us build on this momentum in the most strategic way possible.”

Blythe Jack, Managing Director at TSG, said “Dutch Bros has an exceptional history of fostering deep connections with its customers, which has proven instrumental to its rapid growth and success as the country’s largest, privately held drive-thru coffee company. We are thrilled to partner with the management team, and look forward to maintaining the company’s strong heritage and truly unique culture while executing on key growth drivers, and ‘spreading the Dutch Luv’ as Dutch Bros enters its next stage of expansion.”

Boersma added, “Our goals, mission and core values remain the same. TSG is the fuel to the fire, providing us with the intellectual capital, experience and expertise needed for Dutch Bros to continue to create memorable experiences and make a massive difference in people’s lives.”

Chuck Esserman, CEO and Founder of TSG, added, “Dutch Bros is an innovative, founder-led brand backed by an intensely loyal customer following. We are pleased to leverage our deep consumer brand expertise to help support the company’s long-term growth ambitions and are excited to help the business continue to deliver its compelling value proposition to even more consumers over the coming years.”

Travis Boersma founded Dutch Bros in his hometown of Grants Pass, Oregon in 1992 with his late brother Dane. The brothers grew up working at the family’s dairy farm, but due to industry changes were pressed to sell their cows, so decided to leap into the coffee trend brewing in the Pacific Northwest. They started with 100 pounds of beans, a double-head espresso machine, and a pushcart by the railroad tracks dispensing as many free samples as possible. By 1996, Dutch Bros had six locations and welcomed its first franchisee in 1998. In 2005, Dane was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s Disease and passed away in 2009, creating an undeniable void for Travis and the Dutch Bros family.

Today, Travis regularly calls on the wisdom imparted by Dane, believing that Dutch Bros is a part of each community it calls home and encourages all employees to be a positive force for good. Over the past 26 years, the company has grown to a seven-state empire with more than 300 locations, employing over 9,000 people and donating more than $5.8 million annually to nonprofit organizations and local charities.

Thousands of jewel colored fruits lay in mounds on the ground, among the emerald peaks of one of El Salvador’s largest volcanoes. The fruit is piled on tarps as workers pick quickly through the heaps of rich red and deep purple, looking for glimmers of green- signs the fruit is undeveloped, unready for the next step. Hours of labor and years of love have gone into this moment. The work brewing in the wilds of Central America is the beginning of a process that will end in the perfect cup of Dutch Bros Coffee.

The seeds of the fruit will ultimately end up at a roasting facility 3,600 miles away, in Grants Pass, Oregon, where Dutch Bros Coffee started in 1992. The company was created by brothers Dane and Travis Boersma after the family was forced to shut down its dairy business.

“I sat down with my brother and we talked about what we should do next. Dane had owned a Dairy Queen franchise in his 20s and I was intrigued by the coffee trend starting in the Pacific Northwest,” said Travis Boersma, the co-founder of what is now the nation’s largest privately held drive-thru coffee company. “We drove through the northwest experiencing the coffee world and decided we wanted to give our own brew a shot. We started with 100 pounds of beans and a double head espresso machine.”

The first stand opened in a pop-up tent set up beside railroad tracks in downtown Grants Pass. Over the last 26 years, Dutch Bros has grown from a single stand, to more than 310 locations in seven states. A company that once was comprised of just family now provides jobs for more than nine thousand people.

“Culture is the key to our success. We have a culture of taking care of people- whether they are customers, our community or our employees. We are in the relationship business and coffee is simply a way of facilitating those relationships,” said Boersma.

While the company’s growth has prompted changes, it hasn’t affected the commitment to quality products and experiences.

“This product is a labor of love, a labor of passion,” said Amber Boersma, a member of Dutch Bros’ founding family, during a recent trip to El Salvador. “Every single bean is touched by a person. It’s picked, it’s looked at.”

Coffee beans are the seeds of the coffee plant. They grow in small, red fruits farmers in Central America call cherries, which must be tenderly grown over the course of several years. Coffee is first planted in large shaded seedbeds, before the sprouted plants are transplanted to individual planters where they are meticulously watered and shaded from sunlight. Once they mature, the plants are uprooted once again and placed in a plot where they will receive full sun.

“The coffee trees will need, on average, three to five years to grow before they produce fruit,” said John Diaz, lead roaster and production manager at Dutch Bros. “Once the trees begin to flower, it will take approximately 36 weeks for the cherries to fully ripen before they can be harvested.”

Dutch Bros doesn’t require its coffee growers to become certified organic due, in part, to that fragile, extended growing period.

“Most farmers in the coffee industry aren’t organic. If they try to go organic, they risk losing their farms,” said Diaz. “Leaving plants unprotected for a period of years creates the perfect conditions for a fungus called leaf rust. It’s devastating, and coffee is especially susceptible.”

“We feel good about the support we’re giving our farmers and our customers,” said Diaz. “When proper processing procedures are followed, any chemicals sprayed on the plants end up on the cherry, not on the coffee bean itself. Before it is served to you, each coffee bean is harvested, removed from the fruit, cleaned, hulled and, ultimately, roasted at about 400 degrees.”

Studies conducted in Germany and Japan, and published by the National Institutes of Health, show more than 99 percent of residual chemicals found on coffee beans are burned off in the roasting process.

Secure in the product the Central and South American farms are providing, Dutch Bros has decided to focus on helping the communities that have been key in helping position the company as a powerhouse in the coffee industry.

Members of the Boersma family say Dutch Bros’ commitments to quality from seed to cup, the communities it serves and the customers who have made it successful are key to providing the perfect cup of coffee anyone can feel good about drinking.

“Coffee is special, and we need to appreciate it,” remarked Amber Boersma at the end of her recent trip to El Salvador. “And we need to remember it’s someone’s pride.”

GRANTS PASS, Ore. (May 16, 2018) – Friday, May 11, more than 300 Dutch Bros locations across seven states celebrated the 12th Drink One For Dane day by raising a record-breaking $1,351,780 for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. The annual event honors Dane Boersma, who co-founded Dutch Bros with his brother, Travis, in 1992 and passed away from ALS in 2009. Thanks to an outpouring of love and support from customers, Dutch Bros surpassed its $1 million goal for the day and has now raised $4.8 million in total for the MDA.

Surrounded by his Dutch Bros family at the original location in Grants Pass, Travis Boersma said, “It’s hard to believe that all this time has passed, and here we are on the biggest fundraising day in Dutch Bros history… Today is an opportunity not only to raise funds, but to give gratitude and respect to all the people who have suffered at the hands of this disease.”

In 2005, Dane Boersma was diagnosed with ALS. In 2007, Dutch Bros held its inaugural Drink One For Dane fundraiser. Back then, with only 100 locations, the goals were simple - to raise awareness and help support other individuals and families affected by this incurable disease. In 2009, the Boersma family lost Dane “the wiseman” to ALS, but carried on with the campaign as a testament to the massive impact he had on the people he encountered. Today, the heart and mission of the fundraiser are stronger than ever, even for those who never met Dane - find a cure and put an end to ALS.

“To so many people he was a selfless leader and a symbol for all that we do, every good cause we rally around,” said Brant Boersma about his father, Dane. “To me, I was just lucky enough to call him dad. I know he'd be proud of everything his family, company and community have accomplished."

Proceeds from Drink One For Dane benefit the MDA, the world’s leader in the fight against muscle-debilitating diseases, including ALS. ALS is an unforgiving disease that affects the parts of the nervous system that control muscle movement. Although victims maintain their awareness, they are increasingly unable to control speaking, breathing or moving. Research continues into understanding the root cause of the disease, which remains a mystery, and finding a cure. Time is of the essence, as those who are diagnosed typically succumb to the disease within three to five years.

“We are truly grateful for the ongoing commitment Dutch Bros has demonstrated in helping MDA with its mission to find a cure for ALS," said MDA president and CEO Lynn O'Connor Vos. “With Travis’ leadership and dedication, the enthusiasm of the employees at over 300 Dutch Bros locations and the many thousands of customers that ‘drank one for Dane,’ MDA continues to be the leader in funding research to find treatments and cures to give everyone diagnosed with ALS a fighting chance."

CARSON CITY, Nev.

On the day of the fundraiser, Dutch Bros locations in Carson City donated $1 from every large drink purchased to benefit the Nevada Humane Society, and their mission of creating a no-kill community.

GRANTS PASS, Ore. (May 3, 2018) – On Friday, May 11, Dutch Bros invites communities to join the annual Drink One for Dane fundraiser for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA). Now in its 12th year, the biggest giveback on the Dutch Bros calendar involves each of its 300+ stores across seven states. All sales proceeds for the entire day are dedicated to the MDA’s work in providing for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis research and family support services. Committed to finding a cure for ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease), Dutch Bros is eyeing the $1 million mark this year and is confident that loyal customers will deliver.

“We absolutely love our customers, and they have amazed us with their growing generosity each year for this campaign,” said Travis Boersma, co-founder of Dutch Bros Coffee. “Held in honor of my brother Dane, who co-founded Dutch Bros with me, this event encapsulates his spirit, which remains a guiding force for Dutch Bros. We are truly moved by how our communities continue to embrace his legacy and all those impacted by ALS.”

Drink One for Dane began in 2007, after Dane Boersma was diagnosed with ALS. The event was intended to increase awareness of the disease while raising support for those afflicted, not only through fundraising for research but also for support services to those living with the illness. In 2009, the Dutch Bros family lost Dane to the incurable disease, but carried on with the annual fundraising campaign as a testament to his indomitable spirit and inspiring positive attitude.

Last year, Dutch Bros customers at all locations (numbering 283 last May) raised more than $970,000 for the MDA. The 2017 effort lifted Dutch Bros’ overall contributions to the MDA to $3.5 million. This year, with more locations and a growing loyal fan base, Dutch Bros hopes to break the $1 million barrier.

“In nearly 70 years, MDA has spent $350 million funding ALS research and care support services. With partners like Dutch Bros, the fruits of our labor are starting to pay off with two FDA-approved treatments for ALS and the development and testing of promising new therapies,” said Lynn O’Connor Vos, MDA president and CEO. “We know there is still much work to be done in unlocking the secrets of this disease, but we’ll continue to aim to stop ALS in its tracks.”

The MDA is the world’s leader in the fight against muscle-debilitating diseases, including ALS. ALS is an unforgiving disease that affects the parts of the nervous system that control muscle movement. Although victims maintain their awareness, they are increasingly unable to control speaking, breathing or moving. Research continues into understanding the root cause of the disease, which remains a mystery, and finding a cure. Time is of the essence, as those who are diagnosed typically succumb to the disease within three to five years.

Through its Love Abounds Foundation, Dutch Bros donates more than $2 million every year to nonprofit organizations and causes to “Make a difference, one cup at a time.” The foundation actively engages Dutch Bros communities through giving and action, supporting programs and projects connected with four focus area: health, music, youth and origins.

ROCKLIN, Calif. (Nov. 15 2017) – On Sunday, Nov. 19, Dutch Bros Rocklin will donate proceeds from each drink sold to Emily Cook, a local teen in need of a kidney transplant.

Emily is a 14 year old Rocklin native that has battled Juvenile Idiopathic Polyarticular Arthritis for more than half of her life. Four years ago, in the summer of 2013, Emily developed Wegener’s Disease, an autoimmune disease that causes her immune cells to attack blood vessels, resulting in inflammation. By the time her disease was caught, she had lost more than half of her kidney function.

During the time of Emily’s diagnosis, her mother Janice was diagnosed with cancer. Despite battling cancer, Janice’s sole concern is her daughter’s health. Both of Emily’s parents are school teachers in Rocklin; however, Janice has had to take time off to focus on her health and Emily’s father, Jim, needs to stay home to take care of Emily and Janice.

“The community of Rocklin has asked us to support the beloved Cook family. We will be raising money for their 14 year old daughter, Emily, for her medical expenses,” said Jeremy Mauel, owner of Dutch Bros Rocklin. We want to show the Cook family that Rocklin loves and supports them! We want to bring this special family some hope during this difficult time.”

Dutch Bros Rocklin, located at 3450 Sunset Blvd., will donate proceeds from each drink sold on Sunday Nov. 19 to Emily Cook. Funds directly offset medical expenses, as Emily continues to battle her disease and seek out a kidney transplant. The Cook family is expecting the cost of her kidney transplant to exceed their medical coverage. They are hoping to raise the money by the time her transplant becomes available and she is able to schedule a surgery.

GRANTS PASS, Ore. (May 10, 2017) – On Friday, May 5, Dutch Bros locations in all seven states rallied with its communities to raise $970,037 for the Muscular Dystrophy Association to support ALS research and family services. Days after Drink One for Dane, a Dutch Bros vendor made a generous donation, one that enabled Dutch Bros to donate over $1 million towards the fight against ALS.

"When one of Dutch Bros vendors, Amhil heard how close we were, they were inspired to help and have made a gift of $30,000 to bring our Drink One for Dane total to $1,000,037," said Jen Wheatley, Dutch Bros Senior Director of Community Affairs.

"We were blown away last year by our community’s support, and raising even more this year is beyond amazing. Our community never ceases to amaze us, and it truly shows by the support they showed on Drink One,” said Travis Boersma, Co-founder, Dutch Bros Coffee.

Every year, on the first Friday of each May, Dutch Bros rallies for its annual Drink One for Dane day. A day that began in 2007 after Dutch Bros co-founder, Dane Boersma was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, or ALS. Drink One for Dane began as a way to raise funds and awareness for a disease that is not well understood.

In 2009, Dutch Bros lost Dane to this unnerving disease. Drink One for Dane has lived on to honor a man whose wisdom and spirit is still very much a part of Dutch Bros’ day-to-day operations, as well as to raise funds to support the advancement of ALS research and to support family services.

ALS is an unsettling disease that affects the parts of the nervous system responsible for voluntary muscle control, severely hindering the ability to speak, move or even breathe. Those diagnosed with the disease typically lose their battle within three to five years.

The Muscular Dystrophy Association, better known as MDA, is the world’s leader in ALS research. Funds raised on Drink One for Dane benefit this organization as they continue to support families affected by ALS and to further research into this disease for which a cause and a cure are currently unknown.

“How incredibly special that on Drink One for Dane day, the FDA approved the first drug to treat ALS in over 22 years — a proof point reflective of the unprecedented momentum we’re seeing in ALS research,” said MDA Senior Vice President & Scientific Program Director, Grace Pavlath, Ph.D. “On this same special day, the Dutch Bros community came together in honor of Dane and in support of continued progress in the fight against ALS. The incredible results of this year’s Drink One for Dane Day are sure to help MDA make the breakthroughs needed to find treatments and cures for ALS.”

“It’s pretty crazy to think that on the same day there was significant progress made in a treatment," said Travis. "And for me, I am just super grateful.”

With the community’s support on Friday, and the donation from Amhil, Dutch Bros was able to donate $1,000,037. Making Dutch Bros' total donation to the MDA over $3.5 million. These funds will continue to support family services and research efforts as the fight against ALS continues.

"With still no cure in sight, the money [Dutch Bros] raises through 'Drink One for Dane' provides the kind of hope which is invaluable for all those who are inflicted with ALS. This hope is what keeps our spirits high, giving us the opportunity to live a more normal life," said Dennis Westling, ALS patient.

ROCKLIN, Calif. (May 24, 2017) – On Thursday, May 25, Dutch Bros Rocklin, located at 3450 Sunset Blvd. will donate proceeds from the day to Camryn Leigh Stokes, a 17 year old from Del Oro High School who was recently diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

She is also very involved with her church, including attending three Missions Trips to Mexico, and being a YoungLife and a WyldLife leader. Camryn's treatment will be intense, lasting 8-9 months initially, with followup treatment for approximately two years following.

"Camryn is a fighter with strength beyond her years," said Heather Mauel, owner of Dutch Bros Gold Country. "With grace, she is going to beat this and be a role model for many others."

Dutch Bros Rocklin is located at 3450 Sunset Blvd, and is open 24 hours a day. Proceeds from Thursday, May 25 will directly benefit Camryn as she continues her fight against Leukemia.

COOS BAY, Ore. (May 23, 2017) – On Wednesday, May 24, all three Dutch Bros Coos Bay/North Bend locations will donate proceeds to the Coquille High School cheer team and Coos County Search and Rescue. The donations will be made in honor of the late Shayla Marie Coleman, a Dutch Bros Coos Bay employee who passed away on April 16, 2017.

“The impact Shayla had on everyone she met is not best measured in time, but in quality. In her short time at Dutch Bros she lit up the crew with her enthusiasm and made friends with all of us,” said Ken Hiler, owner of Dutch Bros Coos Bay/North Bend. “In honor of what she gave to us, we will hold a proceeds day at all three of our locations in Coos Bay and North Bend.”

On Wednesday, all three locations will donate the day's proceeds equally to both Coquille H.S. Cheer and Coos County S&R, in honor of Shayla Marie Coleman, who was heavily involved with both organizations.

To raise the funds, Dutch Bros Medford donated the proceeds from each sale on Friday May 12. In addition, Kyle and E.J. Singler helped hand out drinks and sign autographs from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Steward and Columbus Dutch Bros location.

"I love being able to help support the Kids Unlimited Charter School! They offer amazing opportunities for kids in our community," Said Ty Sullivan, owner of Dutch Bros Jackson County.

Kids Unlimited is a local nonprofit that gives children living in poverty opportunities they might not otherwise have available. They offer sports, arts, music, culinary arts, film, robotics, leadership, science and gardening programs to underprivileged youth in Jackson County.

Cat was diagnosed with a rare form of Systemic Scleroderma, an autoimmune disease that turns her soft tissue into hard tissue. Because Cat's form of Scleroderma is systemic, it also effects her internal organs.

To raise the funds, Dutch Bros Spokane locations sold Medium drinks for $2, and they donated $1 from every drink sold on Sunday May 14, to Cat Davis. "We are so honored to play a small part in what we hope and believe will be a life saving surgery for cat, and a possible cure for Scleroderma," said Kevin Parker, owner of Dutch Bros Spokane.

In order to combat her disease, Cat will be receiving her second stem cell transplant, this time the stem cells are from her brother Dan. Because Dan is an exact match and he does not have Scleroderma, Cat and her team of doctors are extremely optimistic about the results of her transplant.

“I’m so honored to be opening out first location in Renton. I am truly looking forward to becoming a part of the community,” said Ron Watkins, owner of Dutch Bros Renton. “I’m ready to show Renton what Dutch Bros has to offer, and to share what our culture is all about.”

On Friday, all Dutch Bros locations will have Cold Brew Coffee available for purchase. Dutch Bros Cold Brew Coffee is made from the company’s private reserve, three-bean blend and water. It is nitrogen infused, and contains no added sweeteners.

"I am biased, but this is the best cold brew on the planet," says Travis Boersma, President and Co-Founder Dutch Bros Coffee.

Handcrafted and chilled from beginning to end to ensure consistency and flavor, Dutch Bros Cold Brew Coffee stays refrigerated from production to the customer’s hands. Dutch Bros Cold Brew is bottled in 11.5-oz. nitrogen-infused cans enabling customers to purchase this ready-to-drink product and drink it at their own leisure while on the go, at work or at home.

The nitrogen infused cold brew is not only loaded with caffeine, but also has numerous benefits. Dutch Bros Cold Brew Coffee is amped up with more caffeine than a typical quad shot of espresso, this is due to the Cold Brew process, coffee being steeped with cold water over a long period of time, instead of the typical hot water steep, which dilutes the caffeine content in espresso. Cold Brew Coffee is also sugar-free, as it is comprised of coffee and water only. Cold Brew Coffee is high in antioxidants, as well as low in acidity.

Dutch Bros Cold Brew can be enjoyed straight from the can or over ice. In true Dutch Bros fashion, its Cold Brew is completely customizable with flavors and milk.

Dutch Bros Cold Brew is of highest of quality due to its use of Dutch Bros private-reserve with beans from Brazil, Colombia and El Salvador. Beans are roasted individually, in Grants Pass, Ore. then blended together to further ensure freshness and quality. The nitrogen infusion enables Dutch Bros Cold Brew Coffee to be creamier and richer than other Cold Brew products because nitrogen does not easily dissolve in water, leading Dutch Bros Cold Brew to be more velvety in nature.

MEDFORD, Ore. (May 3, 2017) – On Friday, May 12, all Medford Dutch Bros locations will donate proceeds from the day to Kids Unlimited. Local NBA stars Kyle and E.J. Singler will be at the Steward and Columbus location, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., serving coffee and meeting fans.

Kids Unlimited is a local nonprofit that aims to give children living in poverty access to opportunities they might not otherwise have access to. They offer sports, arts, music, culinary arts, film, robotics, leadership, science and gardening programs, all with the goal of inspiring and motivating underprivileged youth in southern Oregon.

"Kids Unlimited is a great organization that does a lot for children in our community," said Ty Sullivan, owner of Dutch Bros Medford. "We are excited to raise funds for such a good cause and to have two local stars join us in that effort."

The proceeds from every drink sold at each Medford Dutch Bros location on Friday May 12, will directly benefit Kids Unlimited and their efforts to increase opportunities for children living in poverty.

“It’s hard to believe it has been ten years and we hope everyone will join us to make this the best year yet,” said Dutch Bros Co-founder, Travis Boersma. “All of us at Dutch Bros, look forward to the day we celebrate beating ALS.”

ALS is a disease that affects the parts of the nervous system that are responsible for muscle movement, and is unforgiving. ALS is a particularly cruel disease because those impacted are well aware of what is going on around them, but unable to control muscle movements such as speaking, breathing or moving. There is currently no cause, or cure for ALS and most people who are diagnosed will typically lose their battle within three to five years.

Drink One for Dane began in 2007, after Dutch Bros co-founder Dane Boersma was diagnosed, as a way to raise awareness and support for a disease that was, and still is, not fully understood. In 2009, the company lost Dane to this incurable disease. Drink One for Dane remains a way to honor the legacy of a man who was known to inspire and positively impact all around him and Dutch Bros will continue this fight until a cure for ALS is discovered.

On Friday, Dutch Bros will once again rally with its communities to raise awareness and support for ALS, a disease that affects the lives of many throughout Dutch Bros and its communities. All 283 locations throughout the seven states in which the company operates will donate proceeds from all drinks sold to further support the fight against ALS and to further support family, friends, co-workers, and neighbors who have been touched by this unnerving disease.

“At MDA we’re seeing unprecedented progress in the neuromuscular disease field, and it’s inspired us to work harder than ever to find urgently needed solutions for the ALS community,” said MDA Senior Vice President and Scientific Program Director Grace Pavlath, Ph.D. “Thanks in part to Dutch Bros.’ generous support over the last 10 years, MDA’s current ALS investment covers 44 active ALS grants — each of which has the potential to lead to life-changing therapies. Together with Dutch Bros., we’re closing in on the breakthroughs that will lead to treatments and cures.”

To date, Dutch Bros has donated over $2.53 million, with last year bringing in over $758,000: a donation amount the company is looking to surpass this year. Together, we can make a difference to end ALS.

Every Valentine’s Day, all 277 Dutch Bros locations in the seven states in which the company’s operates donate $1 from every drink sold to local food organizations in their communities. Funds will support these organizations as they continue to fight hunger in within our communities. All Dutch Bros locations are locally owned and operated giving each franchisee the opportunity to support organizations that are positively impacting community members.

“No man, women or child should ever be forced to go without a meal, or have to chose between paying utilities bills or purchasing food,” said Travis. “These local organizations that we have the opportunity to partner with on Dutch Luv Day are working towards a common goal—to eliminate hunger in our communities.

Dutch Bros shifted from a canned food donation to a monetary amount, two years ago. This change was due to the understanding of how every dollar supports local organizations. On average, a donation of $1 allows these organizations to purchase up-to seven pounds of healthy and nutritious food to further support local community members in need of making ends meet. Thus, $1 from every drink sold provides organizations the opportunity to purchase an abundance of food rather than having to sort through cans that may be expired, or not up-to proper food standards.

Last year, Dutch Bros was able to provide over 1.6 millions pounds of food, or over 1.3 million meals for community members by raising $234,030 on Dutch Luv Day. The company looks to surpass this donation amount this year.
